Rolex Yacht-Master Ref. 116622 'Blue' Dial 2014 w/ Box & Papers

The Rolex Yacht-Master Ref. 116622 occupies a specific and considered position within the Rolex sports catalogue — the Yacht-Master in its most technically resolved and materially sophisticated configuration. The 'Rolesium' designation describes the pairing of an Oystersteel case with a platinum bezel, a combination that gives the watch a cool, two-tone material contrast without the formality of gold and with the scratch resistance that platinum's density provides over any other bezel material Rolex offers. Introduced in this configuration in 2012, the 116622 replaced the Ref. 16622 with a larger 40mm case and brought the Caliber 3135 into what had always been one of the more wearable and contextually flexible references in the Rolex family.
